Official thread: Connectivity issues 8/8/13- PLEASE POST HERE
We are investigating reports of connectivity issues. We currently believe these issues to share the same root cause as previous issues and have contacted the external parties involved.
If you were successful in using the previous workarounds, we suggest you use them again.
If you are able to provide us a traceroute to gls.lotro.com, please post it here so we can use this to confirm our believe that these and the previous issues share the same root cause.
